Rockstar Has Sold In 250 Million Games To Retail

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has announced a major milestone for Rockstar Games. The label has sold 250 million copies of titles into retail, including those from the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, and others.

Zelnick also shared during the third quarter earnings call that 70 percent of Grand Theft Auto V gamers have connected to Grand Theft Auto Online. The digital currency offerings have been the largest contributor to Take-Two’s $132.8 million digital revenue during the quarter.

Correction: This story originally incorrectly attributed the 250 million copies sold to just the Grand Theft Auto series. We have corrected the story to reflect that the number is representative of all Rockstar titles. Game Informer regrets the error.
